Global markets reacted sharply Thursday after former U.S. President Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, urging immediate progress on a peace deal or risking unspecified consequences. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined amid heightened geopolitical tensions, reflecting investor unease over potential Middle East instability and its economic ripple effects. Oil prices surged as traders anticipated supply disruptions, with Brent crude climbing over 3% on fears of escalating conflict in the oil-rich Persian Gulf region. Trump’s remarks, delivered during a high-profile press briefing, marked a shift in diplomatic tone and reignited concerns over U.S.-Iran relations after months of stalled negotiations. Analysts warn prolonged tensions could further destabilize energy markets, pressuring equities and inflation-sensitive sectors as geopolitical risks overshadow economic fundamentals.
